The Pub - Belph's Battle with Anorexia

I guess it depends on your definition of direct. Push ups, pull ups, some type of upper high rep pull. Presses.
Taking care of his shoulders is definitely a high priority though.

I guess I was thinking of isolation work. Thanks for the answer Dan, good info. I'm not gonna compete in kayaking but healthy shoulders are always good.

You see more and more squat jerkers around, though, it seems.

This isn't my original idea, by the way. I've been told by a few high level coaches that that is where they see the sport heading, which makes sense to me. It can eventually be far more efficient due to not having to drive the bar as high as in the split jerk.

You know much more about this than I do but shouldnt it have happened already? When lifters switched from the split to squat in the snatch and clean, why not the jerk? Obviously you don't have to drive the bar as high, but as you said you have smaller room for error and you have to do a second squat. I would imagine that would be very hard at record weights.

Will have to check it out. Went to SummerSlam '92 over here at Wembley Stadium, historic moment in Pro Wrestling.

I still have that on VHS somewhere!

Got chance to use avocados on the weekend. Mixed it with yoghurt and mixed it in with pasta and served with Turkey and half a yellow pepper.

I'm a big fan of the squat jerk but I doubt it will ever usurp the split as the standard.

But who knows. If more people win medals with it, more people will have a go at it.

And I do feel that you'll at some point soon see a WR with it.

Probably at 77kg first.
Zhang was close several years ago at 207

And Lu catches the WR but cannot recover with it.

I've had my junior lifter play around with it but no solid commitment to using it yet.
 
My stupid lower back hurts. I think I tweaked in jiujitsu last week.

One of my athletes is a professional kayaker and he's always trying to get me out in the boat.
I assume in the baby rapids. He does that crazy shit.
Need to take him up on it. Sounds fun.

One of my in-laws is really into kayaking. He took me on a little baby dick river to try it out. Not gonna lie, I got a little nervous going through very mild rapids lol. I cant imagine going through serious shit. It was fun though.

Looks like fun to me
 
Why are women always cold? I turn the air conditioning on at work and I get berated within minutes by all the bitches in the office.

I can only imagine it's because they died inside a long time ago and there is no warmth left to heat their frozen, bitter carcasses.
